LIVE REVIEW: The Donkeys + Rafter @ Soda Bar, SD 5/12/12

Pictured above you see Anthony Lukens, keyboardist and one of the four members of The Donkeys about to head out on tour over the next several weeks across America. By visiting their Facebook page you would find out that the band is the self-appointed “pride and joy of San Diego.” And why yes, San Diegans are proud of The Donkeys, they might want to actually keep the band a secret.

The Donkeys are one of those odd groups that can’t seem to designate a “lead” singer, and it’s always been this way for these four. The band has been around since 2006 and made great strides to get to where they are today. It’s not every day that you hear of a San Diego band setting out on a month long tour.

Seeing The Donkeys live is like walking into a dive bar with a ragamuffin band in the corner, playing songs you’ve never heard but are certainly going to enjoy. Make sure you look below for dates to see when they are coming to a venue near you.
